Monty Posted September 5, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2013 This is the 30x60 shop I am getting with our new place. First order of business...concrete. I can fit a few bikes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted September 5, 2013 I've never even had a garage before...always a carport, and I've always done all my work on gravel or grass, so this is a major step up for me. As soon as I get concrete poured, I'll be in hog heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted September 5, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2013 Sweet digs bro! I have a 30X40 at this new place and I could use 20 more feet on it. Think of what you might use it for before you pour the concrete. Putting water pipes and such in it now would be a good idea, or some radiant floor heating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tooch Posted September 5, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 5, 2013 This is the 30x60 shop I am getting with our new place. First order of business...concrete. I can fit a few bikes in there. This reminds me of a real-estate website call "Garage first dot com" Nice shop congrats:cool10: True story....I bought an 8 x 12 shed today for my shop:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted September 5, 2013 Right now, money will only let me pour the middle 20 feet or so. Enough to be able to pull a cage up on it & change oil & such. Rest will come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted September 5, 2013 Share #6 Posted September 5, 2013 Congrats Monty, NICE MAN CAVE!!!! I too spun wrenches out in the back yard for years,, I bet I lost a ton of parts in the weeds,,, your gonna LOVE it buddy!! Shoot,, even a dirt floor with some old carpet on it is way better than a grass front yard... PLUS,,, you will have a whole new bunch of buddies - wanting to make an oil stain on that new floor,, its a guy thang.. An old management rule of thumb is "its not a plan till its on paper".. Might not be a bad idea to take a few minutes and lay out a future floor plan before you pour,, just dream.. Water lines, Conduit, Airlines, floor drains (like already mentioned) are fairly cheap to stub in for future use.. Also, some form of rerod/screen is not a bad idea.. Any way,,, congrats!! Oh yea,,, mind if I borrow a couple feet of floor space to change the oil on my bike next time we come thru:rotf: Puc:bluesbrother: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted September 5, 2013 Wiring & air outlets are already done. Air compressor is in a separate room outside, where it's quiet.(look at first pic, you can see little room on end of shop.) Already plumbed for air. Water is already run to the shop. Gonna plumb in for a bathroom & a deep sink before I do anything. I plan on 4 inches of concrete with wire & fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted September 5, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 5, 2013 With that much height I would make sure to save a place for a car lift, either 2 or 4 post type. Congrads on a fine looking shop too. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyRider Posted September 5, 2013 Share #19 Posted September 5, 2013 Honey I've found our next house come look!!! Showed her your pics and suggested a Murphy Bed, a fridge and a heated out house as great additions. She thought making a place for me to sleep in your rafters was a better idea and soon!! Great Place!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted September 5, 2013 Share #20 Posted September 5, 2013 I see a new wide screen TV in your future... Reminds me a little of my bro-in-law's place. If your garage is bigger than your house, you might be a redneck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share #21 Posted September 5, 2013 The shop is a 30x60. The doublewide I live in right now is 28x56. It would fit in that shop...lol. Our new house is 2172 square feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
